△ [21p-A306-7] Superconducting thin-film resonator with an ultra-high quality factor
Keywords:microwave kinetic inductance detector, thin-film resonator, superconductor
The thin-film superconducting resonator used in the microwave kinetic inductance detector provides a resonance Q value of approximately 105-106. However, it has never been able to achieve a very high resonance Q value (up to about 1010) like the cavity resonators of bulk superconductors used in particle accelerators. A possible cause is loss due to a dielectric including a substrate interposed between the signal conductor and the ground conductor of the transmission line constituting the thin film resonator. In order to reduce the loss, we propose a new structure, and report on its fabrication and measurement results.
